"Make Me Go" | Mina x Chaeyoung

"Go home and spend the weekend wisely, everyone! You may now leave the classroom", the teacher of the class, Ms. Myoui Mina; told the students. They comply immediately, rushing out of the room to go home already and have fun early for the rest of the time.

Sadly, only one of them was prohibited to join them.

"Except you there, Ms. Son.", Mina turned her eyes at the small girl who's about to leave her chair. Her student, Son Chaeyoung turned her head to look at her adviser who's having pure seriousness in her face.

She walked closer to the desk, now both of them are a bit near at each other.  "Maam, may I know what is this all about?"

"We just have to talk about something. Chill, this will only take a moment, Ms. Son.", Mina said, leaning closer at the younger one with smirk on her face. Chaeyoung on the other hand, curious on what it is.

Mina pulled out something on her folder and placed it on the desk. It was a paper that looks like a report card. She pushed it in front of Chaeyoung for her to see.

Chaeyoung slumped her shoulders in an instant when she already figured it out what are they gonna talk about.

"By looking at your grades this quarter. I admit I feel hurt seeing the low grade you had in your record.", Mina said, also looking down at Chaeyoung's list of grades.

"If i'm not mistaken, it was MY subject.", she sighed, shaking her head while clicking her tongue. It was Mathematics that Chaeyoung has the lowest grade of all the subjects she had.

"I'm v-very sorry, Ms. Myoui. I'm really having a lot of trouble catching up on the lessons in your subject this quarter.", Chaeyoung said, frowning as she lowered her head to express her disappointment to herself. Mina though, got worried for her because she looks like she's really having a hard time.

Mina walked away from her desk and went towards Chaeyoung. She holds her back and slowly caressed it."Does it make you stress, hmm?"

"Y-Yes, Ms. Myoui.", Chaeyoung lets out a huge breath of air.

"My bad. In fact, I already knew this was coming.", Mina said, moving her hands at the near end tips of strands of her hair; gently brushing it.

She leaned her head just right beside Chaeyoung's ear. "I have my eyes on you all the time. Always.", she whispered. Chaeyoung just blinked rapidly when she felt how warm Mina's breaths striking the skin of her ear. She isn't aware too that Mina was smirking after she did that.

"Say, it's not too late. You can still catch up since the school year isn't over yet.", that made Chaeyoung's mood went up a bit.

"I know, Ms. Myoui and i'm doing my best already to understood the lessons more this time.", Chaeyoung said, with eagerness in her tone.

"No... no... you said you are having stress doing it, right?", Mina said, smiling. Chaeyoung just answered her with a nod. "So... would you accept my offer to help you, ease it off?", Mina crossed her arms.

" W-what do you mean, Ms. Myoui? A help?

"Definitely that, but it's fine if you don't want to.", Mina shrugged.  "Only that I will be sad though.", she pouted, looking away a bit at Chaeyoung to express her sulking.

She walked around at Chaeyoung, not taking away her eyes still at the student while maintaining her arms crossed. "You won't allow your teacher not having a good mood everyday because of you, hmm? I also wanted to do this so bad.", she said when she stopped in front of Chaeyoung, smirking.

"N-no, Ms. Myoui.", Chaeyoung answered, shaking her head while she gulped.

"Good. So, about my offer? What is it gonna be? I bet you even want this already, don't you?", Mina teasingly said, breathily asked Chaeyoung.

"Y-yes, I accept, Ms. Myoui.", Chaeyoung nodded while stuttering. She was kinda a bit feeling weird at how Mina acts with her today.

"Just as what I expected.", Mina flashed a victorious smile. She walked beside Chaeyoung, wrapping her one arm around the back of Chaeyoung's neck, making the latter widen her eyes. "I promise you, Chae. I will take easy of you. We're gonna have so much fun together and I won't allow no one to disturb us, because it's gonna be you and me alone in my house every afternoon starting tomorrow.", she said, her tone of voice became seductive as it sound like. "You got it?"

"I-in your house, Ms. Myoui?", Chaeyoung asked, turning her head towards Mina. Their face is a bit close to each other, Chaeyoung can clearly look at the tiny moles around Mina's face that forms like a constellation.

"Yes, why? Any objections?", Mina asked, raising her eyebrow. "Well if you have one, I won't consider it. Final call, we're gonna do it in my place.  The doors all open for you there, as long as it is you... you're very welcome there.",

"Sorry maam, i-it's nothing, maam. I-I'm just surprised.", Chaeyoung said, looking away from Mina as she felt embarassed.

"Don't be. In fact, there's even more to come and even greater than that, all prepared for you.", Mina chuckled, showing again another high curl at one side of her lips. "You can go home now, cub. See you tomorrow!", she patted Chaeyoung's back.

"T-thank you, Ms. Myoui!", Chaeyoung stuttered at her goodbye. She starts to unlock and open the door for her to finally leave the classroom.

As Chaeyoung disappeared, Mina turned her eyes at her desk where the pictures of her class are being showed also inside of a glass. She saw Chaeyoung's face at the very front, left side.

She smiled as she traced it with her fingertips.

" I can't want for tomorrow to come. I'll make sure once you fall for me, there's no turning back.", Mina whispered to herself before smiling.

Mina had a secret crush on her student Chaeyoung. She knows it is a violation to the rules of the school, but she can't help but to adore her more and more since first week of the opening of classes.

Just stepping inside the classroom from that door makes Mina stare at her already. She doesn't care if maybe other students can observe it. Having a sight of this girl is probably the first thing she just doesn't want to miss.

She finds Chaeyoung beautiful, adorable, artistic, epitome of style and charming. There's really something with this girl that captured her heart since they first met.

But ofcourse, since she's having a secret admiration for her student... there were times that she can feel pain because of it.

Sometimes she can see Chaeyoung being very close and happy to this another girl student in the campus. She doesn't know her name, but she can describe that this girl is very white with long black hair. She pretty cute and pretty too, but Chaeyoung is still the number one for her.

Oh boy, Mina can't help but to be envy at the girl... on how does it feels like being with Chaeyoung freely.

Well since thats how she described the friend of Chaeyoung, she wondered if Chaeyoung also looks at her like that... but in a more different way.

She got nervous and having anxiety whether Chaeyoung also secretly likes her back or this friend of hers was THE one who's having a crush of Chaeyoung.

Mina failed many times on making the ones she loves to reciprocate it back to her. She admits that she's getting tired of losing constantly. That's why this time she sweared that last time would be the last.

That's the start where Mina tries to make Chaeyoung fall from her change of actions. She really is moving quickly and trying to surpass what her friend is doing to her.

And she hopes to God that this would work... because many heartbreaks from the past is enough for her already. Also, this would the last time she can do this for Chaeyoung.

Regarding about the policy of no students or teachers should be having a realtionship, she doesn't mind it. Well it's because in fact, Mina's last term as a teacher is in this school year.

That's why Mina is doing everything she can to make Chaeyoung fall for her before she leaves.

(THE NEXT DAY)

Mina was reading a magazine on her desk along with students who are not so noisy talking with each other when they heard someone just stepped at the doorway.

It was Chaeyoung who is panting her breath. She enters the room, then she had a glimpse of her adviser Mina who is staring directly at her along with her face that shows not even a hint of emotion at it.

Chaeyoung gulped because she can tell that Mina looked very intimidating at her aura today.

"Ms. Son, it seems that you are late in my class.", Mina bluntly said, still not moving in her seat.

"I'm very sorry, Miss My-"

"Zip it.", Mina quickly said to interrupt Chaeyoung. The rest of the class are now all eyes at their fellow classmate who seems to be about served by a scolding from their hot and sexy yet strict teacher.

"Making me wait is one of the things I hate the most, Ms. Son. I am an impatient woman, just to let you know.", Mina said, pursing her lips to the side.

"But since... I am in a great mood today, I don't want to ruin it, not even for you. So, why don't you... just come to my office later at breaktime and tell me your reason there, hmm?", Mina said, now placing both her elbows on top of the table, clenching both her hands.

" I will, maam.", Chaeyoung frowned, lowering head after she nods.

"Good, sit there and listen to the lesson while... you enjoy watching me.", Mina became a rapper at that final words but that's still enough for Chaeyoung to hear those loud and clear. Her eyebrows furrowed at what she said and all of her classmates are switching their gaze at Miss Myoui and Chaeyoung confusedly.

While Chaeyoung is about to head on her seat, Mina who is facing her back at the class; smirking at how proud she is for what she did.

She doesn't want the small girl to be sad, so she plans to make it up with her later at the break.

(4 hours later)

"Lock the door.", Mina commanded Chaeyoung after she placed her bag on her desk. The two just entered Mina's office in the campus and Chaeyoung helped Mina carry some of her things as a respect for her teacher.

After Chaeyoung locked the door which made her think suspiciously, she asked her teacher who removed her glasses and wiped it with a piece of cloth. "I hate to say this maam but, will this take long? I still need to go out and-"

"No need to remind me, I know it ofcourse, Chae...", Mina lets out a giggle. "But sorry to say, you're gonna stay here until the end of the break.", she said with an apologetic look.

"Then maam, how does it say that you-"

"Do you really want to have a real punishment for what you did to me earlier, aren't you?", Mina glared at Chaeyoung to make the girl be warned which is sucessful. "Or you're just gonna keep your precious lips shut instead before I make you do it by myself?", then Mina licked her lips by her tongue then she bit the lower one after. Chaeyoung just gulped.

"Let me finish my words, will you?", Mina raised Chaeyoung's head by cupping its chin. "What I mean is that... you're gonna stay here because I bought already a lunch for us two.", she said.

"Oh. Uhm, t-thanks maam. Sorry for-", the blushing Chaeyoung got interrupted again by Mina as she spoke immediately.

"Sssh, it's fine cub. You're gonna like this, I cooked it all by myself.  This is only for you so better be thankful.", she poked her student's nose with her index finger then lets out a giggle after.

"So... since you're gonna be here in my office and the time is running out pretty fast, why don't we eat already now?", Mina then unwrapped the plastic containing two containers which is both full of a dish called bibimbap. Chaeyoung stared in awe at it. She can't believe why Mina needs to do some effort for her.

Mina lends Chaeyoung her meal and the two opened the container. Chaeyoung can't help but to let out a thankful sigh after smelling the mouth-watering scent of the dish. Mina then sat next at Chaeyoung and the two starts eating their lunch.

"So... what happened earlier?", Mina asked her student after swallowing her first bite.

" Got stuck in a traffic, maam. There was an accident happened in the middle of the road so the cab I took in can't cross easily for other ways.",  Chaeyoung explained.

"Is that so? Alright, it's clear to me.", Mina said. Chaeyoung was not looking at her so she thought the girl is still nervous and a bit afraid at she's gonna receive. Mina then pinched Chaeyoung's cheek, making the girl feel more awkward and blush.

"Don't be terrified, cub. I won't gonna be angry at you for that. I was just worried. As much as I want to give discipline, I can't let myself to hurt the one I lo-I mean my student hehe.", Mina lets out a fake couch to transition the word she nearly said that will literally uncover all the secret she has for this smol bean.

"You must be wondering, where did I get the callname "cub"?."

"I do actually, maam.", Chaeyoung said then she put a spoonful of rice on her mouth.

"I can see how shocked you were earlier. Well, I heard that from your friends and I can say that... you really do look like one.", Mina said, scanning every features of Chaeyoung's face of beauty. "Did anyone even mentioned how adorable and pretty you look?", Mina smiled, Chaeyoung became surpried at it.

"D-don't be weirded out p-please it's just that... I... you really are and I already notice that to you.", Mina tried some other reasons to point out what she just said because it sounded very wrong for her.

"Thank you for the compliment, m-

"Just call me, Mina. I want us to be comfortable here, hmm?", Chaeyounf then nods. "Well also, I would like to hear you call my name, every single day. So... since I allow you to take out the honorifics, shall you let me do the same too?", Mina then crossed her legs, spinning the fork in the container while holding it.

"Sure, Mina.", Chaeyiung said and Mina just heard felt like her heart jumped in an instabt.

"Ahh... yes that's it right there. Music to my ears.", she sighed in relief with her eyes closed. "Alright, Chaeyoung. Gosh, your name is so gorgeous just like you.", Chaeyoung smiled widely at that out of nowhere compliment. "Uhm, let's eat now before the break ends. Hey, just to remind you. Tomorrow is our start so be prepared because I am already."

And to top it all off, what's your address?", and the next thing happened is Chaeyoung gave the full name of her addres to Mina, saving it to the notepad of her cellphone.

(6 HOURS LATER)

Chaeyoung is standing outside her house wearing a nice simple black t-shirt on her top with blue jeans and some Converse black shoes.

A car stopped in front of her and its window loeered down, revealing Miss Myoui as it leaned out of the door to make her face even more visible.

"Hey, there. Chaeyoung. Looking good for today, I like it.", Mina said with a satisfied look while smirking. "Cmon, hop in.", she pointed inside her car usinf her thumb and Chaeyoung followed after.

Not more than 10 minutes later, they arrived at an apartment where Mina lives. Mina opened the door of her room and opened the lights, making the atmosphere inside go bright.

"Welcome to my humble abode. It's pretty fine, isn't it?", Mina said, presenting her house while removing her shoes.

"Small but cozy, Mina.", Chaeyoung said while roaming her eyes around.

"Exactly. So be free to feel at home, here Chaeyoung because you're here in my place, and you're here with me.", Mina pointed confidently at herself, smiling. "Well, I just want you to be okay so that's it.", she said with a calm smile.

"Sit down there, I'll go get my textbooks at my room. Take out your materials while waiting for me.", Mina went to her bedroom while Chaeyoung starts to unzip her bag to get her notebook and Mathematic books to prepare.

(30 minutes later)

Chaeyoung was solving some Math problems Mina gave to her. It was a total of 10 questions and Chaeyoung was at number three and she looks a bit struggling to think how to solve this one.

Mina can detect a bit of her frustration she's showing then an idea came up in her mind. She smirked as she stood up from the couch, she walked through behind Chaeyoung.

"Since I don't have anything to do while waiting for you. Still can't help yourself be calm aren't you?", Chaeyoung slowly nods and Mina took it completely as an answer. "Let me have this one then.", then she placed both of her hand at the top of Chaeyoung's shoulders then shw proceeded to gently squeeze her skin and went downwards on her arms, performing a relaxing message. Chaeyoung felt shivers at the touch of Mina's soft hands.

"Does it relieve your stress?", Mina whispered right next to Chaeyoung's ear.

"Y-yes."

"Hmmm good. If you pass that 10 problems I gave to you, a reward awaits after.", Mina continued, smirking at the sight of thos girl being tamed. "As much as I love to let you know what it is. I can't just yet. But, what is your guess, Chaeyoung?"

"I have no idea, Mina.", Chaeyoung answered. She was trying to keep the tip of her pencil at the paper but she can't write properly due to how calming Mina's been doing to her. She's too focus on the pleasure of her massage than these Math problems.

"Want to have a clue then?", Mina breathily asked Chaeyoung. She smirked after.

"T-That would be better."

"It's sweet, even warmer than what I am doing to you and... something I can assure you'll definitely love just the same as I.", Mina said, her eyes focusing at the movements of her hands going up and down at Chaeyoung's arm whilr maintaining the smile on her face. "Any guess?"

She was waiting for an answer but she noticed that Chaeyoung is still stuck at number 3. She wanted to know what would be the response but it would  be better first for her to finish solving.

"Looks like I'm distracting you a bit, my apologies. Focus on your problems. I'll just keep the thrill for later.", she caressed Chaeyoung's silky hair. "Goodluck, small cub.", then she went back on the couch to play on her cellphone.

After almost 20 minutes later, Chaeyoung was done solving all the Math problems. She gave it to Mina and the genius penguin checked it if its all correct. Fortunately...

"Wow. You really had it all correct! Impressive.", Mina made three small claps making Chaeyoung gratefully smile at her.

"Tell me, was it because of my teaching or was it because of... the... gift.. you're gonna get for these?", Mina challenged Chaeyoung's calmness as she teased her again, her pen poking the bottom of her lip while she smiles.

"Both, maam. I mean... it looks like a wonderful gift since we both at each other how I am taking an effort just to be good at your subject so, I should say that I actually deserve this one.", Chaeyoung said.

"That's right, little cub. You definitely earn this one.", Mina said. She gripped Chaeyoung's arm and pulled her through the couch for her to sit right next to her, making the latter stunned. "But... since it's for you only... you can even have it whenever you want.  I'll give to you with no hesitation.", Mina giggled after saying it breathily.

"W- What is the gift then, Mina?", Chaeyoung said, still a bit unrecovered herself from the reality.

"First, let's then take a break since we are now done. You watch movies, aren't you?"

"I do. I love arts."

"Then suggest what do you want us to watch.", Mina then turned on her flat screen TV and grabbed the remote along with her.

"You sure about this, Mina? You might get bored at my taste.", Chaeyoung worriedly asked.

"As long as that's what you like then it would be the same as mine too, little cub.", Mina chuckled, gently slapping Chaeyoung's shoulder.

"O-okay.", then the next moment, Chaeyoung got shocked when Mina hugged her and placed her head right at the top of her shoulder. Her cute cheeks being squished at the contact of her face to Chaeyoung's skin.

"Forgive me for this, it's just... I don't really know what it feels like when you do this to someone... especially when you're all alone at your place.", Mina sadly said. Chaeyoung then attentively listened to Mina.

"I always know that this is my house where I live in... yet sometimes I don't feel at home around here. That's why I wonder, what can make you feel like that?

Then I asked for some people I know... my co-teachers actually... and they said... you just need to have someone with you that makes you feel safe, secure... and where my heart leads at. So I tried this.", Mina knows she gave a hint of confession about her love for Chaeyoung but sadly Chaeyoung didn't understood it very well. She thought it more like she was only used as an example by Mina to try this at someone she will find one day that will make her feel like that.

Oh little does she knows that the person she might be talking about is already sitting next to Mina, aka. hers truly, Son Chaeyoung.

" It makes sense to me, Mina. Don't worry. How is it then?", then Chaeyoung just accepted Mina's embrace by wrapping also her arm around Mina, making the Math teacher blush heavily and feel greatly touched at what Chaeyoung did.

"It's effective. Thank you for this, Chaeyoung."

"You're welcome, Mina.", Chaeyoung gave a heartwarming smile, making the older get even more whipped at the strawberry princess.

"And for your gift. This. Yes, what I'm doing to you right now. Was it great?", Mina raised her eyes to meet Chaeyoung's face, then she saw her smile while she nods, taking it as a yes.

"If only I can't make you go away later just to stay with me for a little more.", Mina said inside her mind.

"It is, Mina. Cuddles is definitely one of the best things to show affection at someone, you know.", Chaeyoung agreed.

"Yeah, I can tell... because I'm doing this to you. The only person I only wanted to try this one the most and to make even special for you, I can give it even a twist if you want?", Mina switched back again to her flirty teasing technque to Chaeyoung, making the schoolgirl go speechless. Mina then noticed that Chaeyoung's cheeks are going reddish.

"Aww you're blushing, Chaeyoung, looks like you really liking this huh.", Mina kept continuing it. Chaeyoung is begging for God's mercy that her teacher, her friend would stop flirting with her right because...

... she can't take it anymore.

Her heart might explode in a minute.

"Well then, let's stay like for a longer. Let's just be silent now and watch the movie.", then Chaeyoung said the title of the movie they gonna watch and Mina searched for it. While Mina is doing her business, Chaeyoung is starting to ask Mina through her mind if she is really like this type of friend who seduces and flirts as her way of teasing?

Because she ain't gonna lie, Chaeyoung is getting carried on from it a little.

(4 DAYS LATER)

A theatre play has just finished being performed and all of the casts and performers bowed their head at the audience who gave them a loud round if applause. One of them was Chaeyoung.

Why is she even in here though?

After the performers went to the backstage, Chaeyoung immediately walked away from her seat and waited at the lobby for someone.

Few minutes have passed and she saw the one she's been wanting to meet.

Mina was walking with her wearing jogging pants and t-shirt, as well as her FILA rubber shoes too. It was colored all white, exactly opposite from her look earlier.

Because, Mina was one of the performers at the theater play. She was one of the ballerinas in there who danced a type of ballet.

2 days ago, during their small talk as a way to spend their break from the tutorial, Mina shared that she is also part of a ballet club and learning some other dance genres, revealing her other talent that singing.

Chaeyoung knows she can sing because she heard her once singing while she's alone in the classroom during breaktime. She can even remember how it felt like she was in heaven when she heard Mina's mesmerizing soft voice.

Back to what she shared days ago, Mina then said that she was about to participate performing for a play as a part of the celebration to the anniversary of a theatre club she's about to join on collaborating with.

Then Chaeyoung thought that she can attend to it as a way to show back her appreciation for Mina's dedication and efforts on tutoring her in Mathematics.

Back to the present, Mina was walking while grasping her sling bag until she saw a familiar figure sitting at one of the chairs in waiting area.

Chaeyoung stood up from her seat and she greeted Mina with such a large bubbly grin on her face, making the black swan went frozen on her spot.

"Chaeyoung? Y-you're here....", Mina said in disbelief. She was tracing Chaeyoung's body while gasping.

Chaeyoung bursted a small girly laugh, waving her hands. "Hi, Mina. Well you mentioned to me last time that you're gonna have a theatre play and since I'm done with my paintings then I decided to uhh... visit you.", she swirled her body back and forth while clasping her hands below her tummy.

" You don't know how much I appreciate you that you remembered it. Such a heart shaker for me.", Mina placed her hands on her chest while expressing how touched she is. She walked closer at the smaller one, lowering her head a bit to match Chaeyoung's eyes.

"Did you like my performance? I poured all my efforts there because I was thinking of you, the only one who fills up my confidence and energy at things I do.", she grabbed her hand and playfully swayed it.

"You're awesome dancing ballet, Mina! The stylists really did excellent on making you elegant and alluring.", Chaeyoung then made a thumbs up on her hand, smiling proudly at her talented teacher.

"Thank you, Chaeyoung.", she showed her heart melting gummy smile. " I want to take a rest, are you in to go to restaurant?", she said after pouting at how exhausted she is.

"I know one, it's famous and I can assure you that the foods there ate high quality."

"But I don't have enough m-", Chaeyiung said with a mix of fright and shyness on her voice.

"Stop it, I got you. In fact, our family owns it so... you're free to eat healthy and delicious foods there. It's all free for you know, so join and be with me okay?", she then grabbed Chaeyoung's arm and wrapped hers on it, making the two of their bodies contact with each other.

Chaeyoung just nodded in agreement and Mina took it as a go signal. The two then went out of the theatre and rode Mina's car to drive ahead onto her family's resto where they will have their dinner.

(3 DAYS LATER)

Mina just got out of the restroom and walked through the hallway until she halted when she saw something that suddenly dragged her mood down to it's deepest depths.

She saw Chaeyoung again talking with that friend of hers named Dahyun as far as she can remember based from Chaeyoung's mention of her name days ago.

Dahyun gave some drink to Chaeyoung. Mina noticed that it was Chae's favorite flavor: strawberry. Chaeyoung showed a huge smile on her face, she can clearly tell that the girl appreciated it so much.

What happened next was not only Mina's feelings got hurt, it went straight through her heart when Dahyun wrapped her arm around Chaeyoung and pinched the latter's cheek, making both of them giggle.

Mina was trying her best to just pretend that she only saw was just a warm friendship between the two, but ofcourse... it doesn't work because she aren't even sure what's the truth and she doesn't even want to fool herself to a prediction.

So Mina had no other choice but to let her heart slowly getting teared apart at the sight of Chaeyoung looking like Dahyun about to stole her away as she's gaining an advantage again.

Mina turned her body around to walk at the opposite direction, but too late because Chaeyoung already saw her figure so she excused herself to Dahyun as she approaches her teacher slash friend slash admirer.

"Good morning, Mina!", Chaeyoung blocked Mina, stopping her tracks. Mina just looked at her with emptiness.

"Hi.", she coldly said.

"About the uhm... topic for today..."

"Just think about that later and focus on your friend over there. Looks like she needs you already. Don't keep her waiting." Mina said as she pointed back that leads to direction of Dahyun using her thumb.

"Oh. Okay, Mina. See you later.", Chaeyoung just waved her hand at the older before she left her vision and went back to Dahyun to continue their funtime. Mina on the other hand, sighed heavily as she curses herself silently.

"Should I go all in now? I'm losing... and I don't want it to happen again.", Mina asked herself while walking back to her office.

(5 HOURS LATER)

"This is wrong. Wrong again. God, do you even listen to me while i'm teaching you?", Mina frustatingly asked her student while checking her paper. She massaged her forehead before continuing.

" I swear yes but I just d-"  Chaeyoung was about to state her reason when Mina cutted her off again.

"Then think. Answer it again if you know. Just tell me anytime if you want to give up now so that you can just spend your time outside doing everytging you want and make it even more fun being with  that friend of yours. ", Mina stressfully said while she did an indirect hit towards Dahyun.
Mina went to the kitchen to grab some tumbler of water in her refrigerator while Chaeyoung was left sitting alone in her living room, frowning.

Then both of them heard a ringtone coming from Chaeyoung's phone. The owner who is confused, checked it to see who it is.

But she was just about to answer the call when Mina reappeared back at the living room along with her glass of water, staring seriously at Chaeyoung.

"Put down your phone.", Mina commands Chaeyoung.

"But, Mina... it's..."

" Who is it?", Mina asked.

"U-uhm... Dahyun.", Chaeyoung said after she took a glance at the screen of her phone where it shows Dahyun still waiting to have her call get picked up.

"Leave it.", Mina quickly said, not even giving a look at Chaeyoung. She then walked straight back at the couch and placed the tumbler and glass of water onto her glass table.

"Then shall I just tex-"

"NO!", Mina raised her voice which is not too loud but enough fof Chaeyoung to become scared and get chills at how Mina acts today. She is very confused why is her teacher became like this today, to the point that she's making some possibilities in her mind on what could be the cause of it.

"C-can't you just see that I'm here with you right now? All I want today is you and I, alone together. No one will interrupt us, not even that Dahyun.", Mina said while aggressively pointing at the phone.

She walked closer to Chaeyoung, now she's standing just right in front of her. She swayed some of her strands of her back at the behind of her ear. "Keep your focus to me, hmm? Don't fight it... I know you love the sight of me everytime I'm around you.", she breathily said, smirking at the look of Chaeyoung who is just watching her speak.

" Your face screams that you don't want to let me go, well neither I am too if you only know, Chae."

"C- Can I ask something, Mina?", Chaeyoung finally got a courage to question her.

"What is it?"

"Why are you acting so different when it comes to me? Especially today, but you seemed not in the mood.", Chaeyoung said, removing her stare at Mina to lessen the awkwardness she felt.

" Gotta be honest here, you made me scare a little bit at you. ", she intertwined her fingers.

"I-I did.?", Mina was shocked to hear this.

"Yes, Mina. With all due respect I'm trying hard for you but... I just... I feel pressured right now.", Chaeyoung's voice became lower. "Now that you even command me as if you're in charge. Well yes you are, especially today since I'm at your place but that call earlier is my privacy.", Chaeyoung said. She grunted a little bit to show a glimpse of how disappointed and irritated she was when she didn't got to answer her bestfriend's call because of Dahyun.

"You even mention my friend Dahyun as if you despise her. So, what's up with it, Miss Myoui? Do you hate her?", Chaeyoung confusedly asked. Mina was aback at it.

"I don't... it's just... I don't want seeing her being with you.", Mina's voice became a whisper but still audible for Chaeyoung to hear. She's still playing with Chaeyoung's hair, and her sight too is focused on it.

"But why?", Chaeyoung shrugged.

"Because I'm jealous. Yes, i'm in love with you Chaeyoung.", Mina finally confessed. She did it. She literally went everything go now, including her secret love admiration she's having for her student. Chaeyoung was very shocked at what Mina just said. She gasped, jaw dropped at this revelation.

"Since the start of the class my eyes are all set at you everytime. Creepy to hear but... I just can't resist not having a glance at the face who makes my day brighter everyday.", Mina said, her voice transitioned into sweet this time.

"Then when I learned that you and that girl Dahyun are friends, I noticed that she's always been so close to you. Where sometimes it just doesn't feel right to me. "

"I failed at all my attempts to make everyone love me too, so I can't just let this happen again this time. That's where I started acted so dominant towards you, Chaeyoung."

"I used all the things I notice about you whenever you look at me as your weakness for flirting, teasing you just to make you fall for me.", she then holds Chaeyoung's small hands and played with it by gently rubbing her fingers on her skin.

"But it looks like what I'm doing just makes me spread apart from you. That I won't gonna have a chance to make you feel the same as mine.", and Mina's smile all changed into a frown, expressing her sadness as she looks straight into the shining shimmering black orbs of Chaeyoung's eyes.

"But Mina... i'm your student and you're my teacher. We both know that's against the rules. You might get fired for this and I'll be expelled.", Chaeyoung said worriedly.

" I know but I just couldn't stop myself. You really make me go for you, Chaeyoung. Now may I know... do you share the feelings with me?", Mina then went to anticipate what Chaeyoung was about to respond to her million dollar question.

The two then became silent for like 10 seconds until Chaeyoung starts to raise her head again to meet Mina's alluring face.

"I- I don't know, Mina. I can't tell, it's still confusing to me.", Chaeyoung said with an apologetic look. That made Mina slowly release her hands away from Chaeyoung's, huge disappointment and despair for not getting the answer she wants to hear.

"Don't worry, if I don't have any... just tell in an instant and then I guess I should accept my defeat again. Like I always do.", Mina shakingly said, forcing a smile at Chaeyoung.

"I'll give you some time but just to remind you again, Chae. I do really love you... and I won't gonna stop making you realize it everyday.", then Mina shocked Chaeyoung when she gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

Mina then went back on her seat and starts to pull the questionnaires and the book towards her, grabbing the pen too for checking. Chaeyoung was just staring at her first because she can't believe what just happened today but she woke up back from reality to avoid making herself look like a statue.

"Now, let's just continue on the problem.", Chaeyoung nodded after she  sat beisde Mina. "Alright so uhm... you are wrong at #1  because..."

(2 WEEKS LATER)

"

"Yo bro! Congrats!", Dahyun offered her a fistbump using her free hand because her other one was holding the cap of her toga attire.

"You too bro! We survived.", Chaeyoung accepts the friendship gesture of her best bro.

The two chuckled at it. Dahyun then proceeded to speak. "Yeah, even though through the whole year we nearly wanted to give up from our stress, exhaustion, anxiety but still we managed to overcome it all, right?", she then raised her arms as if she's presenting everyone around her.

"We definitely deserve a rest through this whole vacation.", Chaeyoung sighed in relief.

"Yeah, any plans?"

"No idea yet. Maybe i'll go to art workshops and go to my grandmother's. I miss her strawberries so much.", Chaeyoung said, roaming her eyes around at her other fellow students who graduated today, happily reconciling with their parents and loved ones after their huge achievement.
"How about you?"

"My family said we're going to Jeju. Well, I guess I could relax there.", Dahyun answered. The two became silent as they took a time to enjoy the sight of everyone being in Cloud 9 right now.

While Chaeyoung is looking around, she then saw someone familiar, that made her shout deep inside her in victory as she eagerly want that person to approach with after being away from each other for 2 weeks.

"Uhh I got to go now, Dubs. I'm just gonna approach someone."

"Sure, bro. Congrats again!", then the two gave a warm hug at each other. Dahyun gave one last pat at Chaeyoung's back before she went back to her parents.

Chaeyoung then lets her mom to go away early because she still has some work to do. The proud mother kissed Chaeyoung in her forehead and congratulating her daughter again before she walk away.

Meanwhile...

"I'm gonna miss you, Minari. Update me still, okay? Wishing the best for your future endeavors.", a short blonde haired woman who is a fellow teacher of Mina's said to her.

"I will. Thanks, Jeong.", Mina gave an appreciating smile towards her friend. Her friend, Jeongyeon walks away to meet some of her other co- teachers, leaving Mina alone.

But that didn't stayed too long when the person she's been longing to be with during these weeks is about to interact with her.

"Mina.", Chaeyoung called her name. Mina can't help but to smile because she definitely loves it when its her favorite voice who calls her name.

"Chaeyoung. You made it. You graduated. Congrats.", Mina said, holding both her hands together.

"Thanks. How are you?"

"Doing well. You?"

"Not fully okay.", Chaeyoung emphasized it with lacking a small amount of energy.

"Why?", Mina curiously asked. Deep inside she was concerned for her.

"Let's say... these days I had are lacking something.", she sighed.

"What is it? You can share it to me if you want.", she grabbed her shoulder to make her look at her.

"It's you, Mina. And i know you also same as me. We both aren't really okay these past weeks.", Chaeyoung then looked at her. Mina was stunned at her words.

"W-what is this, Chae?"

"That day when you confessed to me, I know I showed you that I'm not well clear at my feelings for you. I like you, Mina... but I don't know if as a friend or... something more.

I'm sorry if I might broke your heart at that time. I feel bad for you too, I do... but I have to do it. Because... I wanted to use more time for me to make things clear on figuring out what you really are to me.

Each days have passed, I always observe myself whenever I'm not with you... that's where I can tell that something's not well with it. I was craving for your affection and your presence.. I made you wait for what I did to you but... Mina.", Chaeyoung then  holds both Mina's wrists as she feels the adorable beats of her pulse which is getting faster due to Mina's excitement and happiness running fast all around her body at what she's hearing right now.

"I am now sure at myself... that everything you do to me, it makes me fall in love with you little by little. I can't help it anymore that we aren't talking with each other...

... because I want to be with the one I love. I want having you near me, Mina.", Chaeyoung then stared at Mina's eyes, showing an assuring smile on her smile to make her know that everything is real and true.

"But what about Dahyun? I thought she's the one..."

"Hell no. She's my bro, Mina. It will always stay like that.", Chaeyoung laughed at that, making Mina sigh in relief while also smiling uncontrollably.

"Guess it's a perfect timing then."

"What do you mean?

"You just confessed to me today... where I'm also ending my contract here in this school.", Mina said, making Chaeyoung shocked.

"Wait, what? So you mean... you won't be teaching here anymore?", Chaeyoung exclaimed, raising her eyebrow.

"Yup... and that means...", Mina then pulled Chaeyoung into hers, now both their front bodys are colliding with each other as Mina's face was just right beside the ear and the side of Chaeyoung's head.

"I can have you all by myself now, Chaeyoung.", Mina whispered it very smoothly. Chaeyoung felt shivers as Mina's warm breeze of breath matches with her ear while she said her words sounding like a hot and seductive one.

"Well... take me already. My heart is yours now, Mina.", Chaeyoung then shrugged and raising both her hands a bit, smirking. Mina then flash a victorious and thankful smile, then she wrapped her arms around Chaeyoung, hugging the baby cub tightly.

"So this is how it feels like. Winning in love.", her voice is a bit muffled because her face is slightly buried in Chaeyoung's crook of her neck.

"Then shall we set a celebration for it?"

"Mmmhhmm... sure babe. Let's do it at home.", Mina then lets go of the hug.

"You don't want to go look somewhere to eat?", Chaeyoung asked her puzzledly.

"I just said it to you. Well, that's the only thing left... since I already have my meal with me.", Mina then bit her lower lip and licked it afterwards while she's scanning Chaeyoung's body from head to toe, making the younger gulp very hard and feel her heartbeat intensely increasing.

"Just kidding, don't be too excited my baby cub. At the perfect time, I promise.", Mina giggled, kissing Chaeyoung's top of her head, successfully making her blush.

"For now, I'll just gonna love you real good, with shower of kisses and hugs", Mina then showed her trademark gummy smile. Chaeyoung won't tired to see that many times because that was too freaking adorable to resist.

"Cmon, let's do it faster. I really want to have you only right now and just us alone, baby cub.", then Mina grabbed Chaeyoung's arm, pulling her along as they head onto the parking lot to ride in the car to start celebrating Chaeyoung's graduation, Mina's end of job contract and most importantly: the two's newly built relationship as lovers.
